Pixar's Party Central Short – The Story Behind the Story

When Mike and Sulley first walk into the Oozma Kappa fraternity house in Monsters University, they are greeted with the following: “Welcome to party central. We haven’t had a party yet, but we will someday.”

That line always stood out to Pixar’s Kelsey Mann, director of Disney·Pixar’s new short film “Party Central,” which you can see in theaters before Muppets Most Wanted beginning March 21, 2014.

“I wanted to see them get what they always wanted and throw their big party,” says Kelsey. “As Monsters University was winding down, the idea of doing a short came up and I thought, we should do the party.” The short takes place at Monsters University. It’s the story of the Oozma Kappa fraternity brothers throwing their very first party, but no one shows up. But never fear because Mike and Sulley return to MU with a plan to make sure it’s the most epic party in school history. “It’s the most crazy short I’ve ever worked on and I think that Pixar has ever done,” says Kelsey. “Crazy in the way that only monster fraternity people can be.”
